Chapter 212: Old Acquaintances
At the end of the day, the sky was not clear, and there was already a team of shadowy figures in front of the main hall of Yurun Palace.
The conscientious palace maid carefully tied the cloak strap for Man Yunzhong, and then leaned over and stretched the already extremely flat piping as hard as she could. didn't dare to touch Zhou Manyun, and Mother Wang, who had some worry in her eyes, was only standing a foot away, holding a glass palace lamp in her hand.
Ren The light was dangling on his face, and Man Yun under the light closed his eyes slightly, and even raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned a few times.
At the beginning of August, the weather is starting to get cooler, and the sunrise is much later than in the middle of summer. Man Yun didn't believe that the delicate and tender Concubine Zhang would have a good interest in starting early, and he couldn't say that he was also copying the set in the harem backyard, and wanted to give the newcomer a disadvantage.
However, Wang's mother's attitude after seeing a foreigner again in the afternoon yesterday was interesting. Zhou Manyun turned his head sideways, and his eyes turned to the corners of Wang's mother's bitter mouth.
"Girl, are you sure you're carrying a floating rest? Are you sure it's the kind of live poison that won't be detected? ......", leaning on the small sedan chair carried by two young and strong young palace maids, Zhou Manyun, who seemed to take the opportunity to catch up on sleep, lived in his mind Mother Wang, even if she got the answer last night, she still asked questions again and again.
What the world thinks of as living poison is a living creature with poison. But for the poisoner, poison is dead and alive, but it is a kind of use that can not be used again, it is like a waste poison, such as the puppet Gu placed on Wang's mother, no matter how useful it is, it can only be used once, and it can no longer be passed on, while live poison refers to something that can still be used to cause death and injury.
In short, in this palace, there are people behind Wang's mother who can find out the hidden live poison.
Man Yun's right hand gently grasped the newly wrapped gem ring on his left finger, and spun and turned. If there is really a capable person, Jihua, who can't say that she pushed the boat down the river and infiltrated the Xiakou Palace, would have to give up. It's better to just run away. It's just that in this way, it will be even more difficult for her to enter this deep palace......
Under the guidance of Wang's mother's lantern, the small sedan chair turned from a flower path into a cramped alleyway sandwiched between two palace walls.
The road is like a sheep's intestine, no more than six feet wide, but no less than a hundred feet long. Zhou Manyun was not visible on his face. I had already smacked in my heart, let go of my hands, and tightly grasped the sedan poles on both sides.
She bets that such a long alley must not be the only way to the palace of Concubine Zhang, but it is difficult to advance and retreat, and if it is blocked from the front and back, it can directly make people a good place to make sausage meat filling.
On the right side of the palace wall in the center of the road, there are people looking at it condescendingly!
Receiving the warning from the silver, Man Yun raised his left hand, his thumb supporting his chin, and the middle finger of his index finger crossed his slightly open lips as if unintentionally. Followed by. Cleanly trimmed nails have two more arcs of heterochromia.
At this moment, a black shadow jumped down from the wall like lightning, and pounced on Zhou Manyun's head and face, and its sharp claws grabbed several residual lights in the air.
Zhou Manyun, who was caught off guard, subconsciously reached out and slapped it out, and wiped a piece of slippery fur with arc blue nails, and pounced.
Rao was prepared, but the transverse muscles on Wang's mother's face couldn't help but jerk, and her body suddenly clung to the red wall. His eyes stared directly at Zhou Manyun, who had been abandoned in the middle of the alley by the frightened palace maid.
Zhou Manyun sat crooked on the ground, staring at a small beast in front of her that was staring at her. The hands hidden in their skirts were clenched into fists. The little beast in the shadows couldn't see clearly, and could only look at a pair of golden eyes that were strangely bright, the size of an ordinary domestic cat, but it should have a long furry tail that was not easy to catch.
"Silver!" , silently called, Zhou Manyun felt even more annoyed in his heart. She could clearly realize that the Gu Snake Silver hidden in her body had once again chosen to pick a child.
The last time was when Yan Lingfeng encountered Xiao Hong's night attack. With a turn of thought, Man Yun, who was confronting the little beast, used his palms to support the ground and covered up all the poison on his nails. Seeing that Mother Wang was simply dodging just now, and there was a figure running on the high wall as if she was looking for a ladder to come down, at this time. It's also difficult to escape, so it's better to believe in the silver.
Under the gaze of the little beast opposite, Man Yun slowly sat up straight, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and picked up the lantern that was still resting not far away when Mother Wang flashed.
"Come here!" , A jade hand stretched out towards the two points of gold in the darkness, and Zhou Manyun softly invited the little animal that seemed to be a little dazed. The strong poison emanating from its body, now that he calmed down, Man Yun could already feel it, and simply greeted his own kind generously. Although there is one man and one beast, in the final analysis, they are all the same poisonous body.
The dim light shone on the slender body like black satin, and a brilliant purple light flowed on the tip of the beard. A small mink with glittering golden eyes tilted its head and stepped up to Man Yun, its wet nose arching over the two poisonous fingers of her left hand.
Then, a small tongue with a rough texture wrapped around her index finger and sucked hard, a pair of golden eyes fixed on Manyun's face in confusion.
"It was you!" , After seeing the appearance of the little mink in front of him, Zhou Manyun couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, hurriedly lowered his head to hide his shock, silently, and reached out to stroke the smooth back of the little thing.
Just like the silver that may have been eaten by himself in his previous life, this one in front of him should also be the old acquaintance of the past. Zhou Manyun's fingers, which were still resting on the side of the little beast's mouth, picked lightly, and sure enough, when it followed the raised front paws, a scar the size of a copper coin could be seen on its chest.
In my previous life, I saw corpses! Zhou Manyun let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and reached out to hold the little mink in his arms. The little thing only struggled for a moment, and then honestly nested up. Under the cover of Zhou Manyun's wide sleeves, the silver that had just been hiding was on its hind feet, and it was secretly hissing snake letters to communicate with it.
"Why are you here?" , Zhou Manyun's slightly frowning brows were full of confusion.
What I saw back then should have been a mink corpse in a red sandalwood box, and the fatal wound should have been an arrow mark from between the eyes to the back of the head. Xiao Hong, who had a dignified face, put the box in front of her, offered to help wash her body and smooth her hair, and then used the Buddhist scriptures she copied by herself to cover the bottom box and buried it under an ancient pine tree in Luojing.
"The old man trusts me, but unfortunately I can't even save its life.........", the man's whisper in the pine wind was like a magic spell. I can't really hear it at all.
Zhou Manyun's thoughts flew away, and his hands were stroking the smooth fur of the little things from time to time. Unlike silver, which is particularly afraid of heat, this kind of intimacy obviously makes the little mink very useful, and a pair of golden eyes that were originally full of vigilance squint comfortably.
"Amethyst!" With the crisp sound of two clasped palms clapping together, a slightly anxious call sounded in front of him.
Gradually brightening the sky. Man Yun could already tell that the group of eunuchs coming down from the palace wall in front of him was a group of eunuchs. The first one who opened his mouth just now looked at the youngest in this pile, but the delicate appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was obviously the one with the highest rank in it.
He must have called the one in his hand, right? Man Yun looked down to confirm that the silver had slipped again, and his hands were released, and he sent the little fluffy thing forward.
But he didn't want to, but the little mink named Amethyst refused to leave immediately, but rubbed the back of Man Yun's hand again. Only then did he slowly swing his tail back to the feet of the red-clothed eunuch, and one jumped on his shoulder, standing proudly, his tail cocked high.
The young father-in-law, whose head had been patted by the mink tail, squinted his long thin eyes angrily, stared at Man Yun for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”
The little mink's ownerless attitude is purely troublesome, and he must be trained when he goes back. Zhou Manyun walked towards the back of the group. smiled helplessly.
The young eunuch's eyes were as cold as a snake when he looked at him, could it be that this was the old man who had entrusted Xiao Hong with a pet in his previous life? The son of the Jingguo Mansion. The palace eunuchs around the emperor, although they are of the same age, are far away from the old people, right?
"The girl is really unusual!" , Wang's mother, who had been watching it with bated breath for a long time just now, came over and smiled at Man Yun, relieved.
"That father-in-law was arranged by my mother to test me?". Man Yun suddenly realized, lowered his head and whispered close to Wang's mother's ear.
The warm breath spraying on the edge of her ears frightened Mother Wang, who had already made up her mind not to have close contact with Man Yun, took two steps back, and smiled awkwardly: "Look what the girl said...... Where did the old slave have so much courage? ”
It's as if walking through the long alley, everything suddenly opens up with the rising sun. However, with the kung fu of tea, Zhou Manyun waited in Yuzao Palace.
It's just that when I arrived, I could only wait silently in the palace. Like a small fish hanging on a stone slab basking in the sun......
"Grandpa Zi! Purple Ancestor! It's all your grandson's fault to take a trip early in the morning, and it's up to you to scratch it...... You've opened your mouth, let's eat! ”
The little mink who had thought that he would be beaten in Manyun was standing on the sloping roof of a small wooden house, as if with contemptuous golden eyes, squinting at the young eunuch who was swaying a small fish in front of him and begging, motionless.
"Little Shou'er, why did you offend Amethyst?" A hoarse question sounded slowly in him.
As soon as the young red-clothed eunuch that Man Yun saw in the long alley in the morning heard the sound, he immediately turned around and picked up his robe, knelt down at a purple-robed old man behind him, and replied respectfully and humbly: "Grandpa, it was the matter that Concubine Zhang asked Xiao Shou'er to investigate in Xuchun Lane last night. Xu got up too early in the morning, and his grandson disturbed Grandpa Zi's sleepiness, and at this moment he was making a fuss about refusing to eat. ”
"You didn't bring anyone back, which means that the demon girl surnamed Zhang is just worrying about it in vain!"
Lu Zheng, the chief eunuch who had followed Emperor Xiaozong in the past, glanced at his godgrandson, kicked him in the ass, and stretched out his hand to Amethyst, and there was also a silver fish lying in the palm of his hand.
The sable, who was originally in a temper tantrum, tilted his head to look, slowly moved down from the height, lowered his head and rubbed the palm of the old man's hand.
"An old man of decades, he will still give us a face-saving ......", the wetness of his lips and tongue on Lu Zheng's hand suddenly made his eyes red, and he whispered with tears in his eyes: "From the Wuzong Dynasty to the present, the old acquaintances who are still alive in this palace are the only two of us." ”
After surviving for a while, watching the Chen Dynasty return to the light after a while of the Xiaozong Dynasty, I don't know if it is fortunate or unfortunate compared to the dead? (To be continued......)
